Those who regard mathematics as a tool are as vulgar as those who regard music as a tool.

But don't tell me, I can hear it coming, you regard MBTI is simply a tool.

If you regard mathematics or music or MBTI as a tool, you become a tool yourself.

Actually I do regard all those things as a tool, why is it negative to become a tool? Music is a tool, music is a tool for many reasons, music is a tool for happiness and pleasure. Music is a tool for the sensations it puts forward to our ears, a tool to help us grow.

A tool is for instrumental purposes while Pure Mathematics is for intrinsic purposes.

Perhaps you regard yourself as an instrument of God, but I see you as an end in yourself, not a means to an end, even of God.

your a wacko to think math will solve anything if not used for something practical, even for intrinsic purposes the mathematician is exercising his brain, to develop his complex thinking skills, thus also a tool. The argument of math being used for intrinsic purposes is a fallacy in and of itself.
